You all have been a major inspiration to me since Agony. While Labyrinth holds a special place in my heart, it's been incredible watching you all grow with every album. Masterpiece after masterpiece. Opera is such an emotional experience and produced very well. Beautiful work you all. 🔥🖤
I had the most badass dream, all thanks to this album. I set my alarm to wake me up with Fleshgod Apocalypse through Spotify. When the alarm went off, I found myself in a post-apocalyptic world, battling demonic sea creatures while 'At War with My Soul' blasted in the background. With each creature I defeated, the music synced perfectly with the action, especially from 17:22 to 17:47, when the brutal blast beats and Veronica's vocals hit hard. I think it'll take a few years until I dream something as epic. I've enjoyed every minute of this album. My respect to you guys!
This album is perfection. I've listened to it several times now and I'm in love with every song and every note. Veronica is absolutely amazing on this album. Beautiful Brutality!!
16:01 *At War with My Soul* my favourite track so far but the rest are fire too, very good job heavy af, going to have severe headaches after headbanging too much lol!! 🖤🩸16:30 HOLY SHIIIIIIIT LET’S GOOOO!!!🤘🏻🔥🔥🔥🔥

Best intro i've ever seen in an album. About damn time you guys integrate Veronica fully in the band and in your songwriting. It took you a long time to realize that you should do it. Ever since she started singing with you, I was waiting for this kind of album. Centering more around her vocals.
"Matricide 8.21" actually made me tear up! Upon first listen to anything, I don't really pay attention to lyrics until later but this song invoked such a strong emotional reaction from me the first time! What an amazing album. Left no crumbs!
Till Death Do Us Apart + Opera could make you cry, but mainly through hope, where you know that nothing is in vain. FGA is the best maturing Italian wine!
Je ne pensais pas que vous pourriez faire un album meilleur que King. Apres trois écoutes à la suite je ne sais toujours pas si je préfère Opera ou King. Ce qui est sûr c'est que cet album est excellent à tous points de vue: composition, orchestrations, technique des instruments mais surtout les voix! Quel travail pour que Veronica ait une voix différente à chaque chanson ! Et Francesco n'est pas en reste notamment avec cette partie de Bloodclock où il murmure/chante qui me fait frissonner à chaque fois. Le morceau de piano final est le meilleur de tous ceux que Francesco ait composé et pourtant Veleno était compliqué à surpasser. Je n'ai que deux critiques: la fin de la dernière chanson et la durée de l'album. Je trouve dommage qu'elle se finisse comme ça, avec ce son de radio qu'on coupe ou de vynile qu'on retire. Et puis l'album est bien plus court que vos précédents, j'aurais aimé qu'il soit plus long pour faire durer le plaisir de l'écoute. Mais je chipote. Il reste un excellent album, comme tous vos précédents, et j'ai hâte de pouvoir écouter ces nouvelles chansons en live! Vivement que vous annonciez la tournée européenne et surtout les dates en France! Merci d'exister, merci à Francesco d'avoir survécu et à tous ceux qui l'ont aidé pour nous donner la chance d'écouter cette merveille.
I saw fga when they first toured the u.s. back in 2011 at summer slaughter at the ace of spades in Sacramento, so glad to see that they're still putting out some bad ass fucking music 🤘🤘🤘
@@grafdrakula4026Да, все уже объелись всем настолько, что уже ничего не впечатляет, хоть музыка, хоть какое угодно крутое кино. Пора в лес годика на три на перезагрузку, чтоб обновить допаминовую систему. Дальше будет ещё пуще с такими темпами выгорания🤔
It was sad when Tommaso and Cristiano left the band... Then it was sad when Paolo left... But still this band takes the special place in my heart and does not tend to leave it. With all recent singles and this album as a whole thing -- it takes this place more and more firmly. The reason is obvious -- you're doing the best possible with everyone who's onboard, with no losing everyone's charisma and skills. Thank you all, boys and girls for this great adventure and experience. And congratulate with this great event of album release!
This album is perfection. It's the first Fleshgod album that I feel may be too short! Thank you all for using your musical gifts in the service of heavy music. See you in majestic Riverside, CA. 🤘
Fully integrating Veronica so she can shine and take the weight off clean vocals for the guys... smart move. She killed it and so did everyone else, what a fuckin sick drop
This album is the 1st Death Metal record that actually induced tears from my eyes. Matricide broke me man!! I am absolutely happy for your success and thank you so very much for always putting out stellar work! The PASSION you employ in your music is OBVIOUS a.f. to me fam!! Blessings and happiness to you all, keep up the PERFECTIONISM!! Incredible work maestros, absolutely amazing always!🤘❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🤘
Over the course of many years lots of bands music might drift apart a bit. These guys aren't just tight they're human machines. Holy fucking shit this is incredible.
This album is on another level I give this record enough praise.. Everything on here is top notch. Veronica's vocals are the best they ever been and I feel she's and actual part of the band not just backing vocals.. The writing... Man What a fuckin killer album.
I wasn't really convinced by the singles but man the rest of the album was really great. Morphine waltz is my favourite by far, mainly because of the guitars. Especially the melody in the chorus just hits so hard for me.
I have quit listening to them since after Labyrinth... the albuns did'nt caught my attention. But this one has me again! The guitar and piano duets are refreshing, also the vocals. Bloodclock is beautiful and Morphine Waltz is pure insanity
I am mesmerized by this album - as I have been with all of them😍 Your reference to Dario Argento made me revisit many of his legendary psychedelic horror films. Maybe you could name your next album "Profondo Rosso" Hope to see you soon in Denmark
veronica has such an amazing voice its great that this album gives it alot more attention. really adds alot more depth to it probably my favorite fleshgod album since labyrinth
Loved you since the Labyrinth album came to my attention and listening through the Opera album left me with a silly smile on my face that won't come off for weeks..... as mentioned below happy releaseday and all the best to all of you both in band and chat.
Finally a great album to listen to, 2024 has been a metal disaster. I love the songs: I Can Never Die, Matricide 8.21, At War With My Soul, Til Death do us apart.
EPIC ALBUM !!! I usually have to listen to new albums 2 or 3 times before I start to appreciate every small details but this one is an instant crush !!! Thanks for your hard work and Devotion guys !!! I'll see you in Montreal on Sept 20th !!!
First it was "Vermillion" by Simone Simons, and now this!? What an amazing day! You all outdid yourselves with this one! I can feel the pain in words, as well as the message to push forward. How touching and inspiring, you guys. Plus, the strength and depth of the music compliment each other perfectly. Thanks for sharing your stories and art! ❤🙏🏼
Fleshgod is the greatest thing to come out of Italy since Olive oil.
Don't forget Fascism.

For sure you're not the greatest thing that came out of your mother.

You all have been a major inspiration to me since Agony. While Labyrinth holds a special place in my heart, it's been incredible watching you all grow with every album. Masterpiece after masterpiece. Opera is such an emotional experience and produced very well. Beautiful work you all. 🔥🖤
Veronica: wait how many characters am I going to play in this one
Paoli: yes
Veronica: hold my cat
I had the most badass dream, all thanks to this album. I set my alarm to wake me up with Fleshgod Apocalypse through Spotify.

Lyrics to all the songs here 😁:
I can never die!
I can never die!
[Verse 1: Francesco Paoli]
This life is mine forever
Who free from fears I smile at death
As I become immortal!
Writing with my blood on this wall, words that you'll never forget
My story engraved with these bones and no regret
I burned my nerves
I ripped my heart out to feel alive
I made a pact with my own devils
Thus, I can never die!
[Chorus: Veronica Bordacchini, Francesco Paoli]
Catching the light with every stroke
Bringing to life the soul trapped in stone
Carving your name into eternity
Beyond the end of time!
Enclosing the existence in timeless words
Piercing the silence with these sharpened notes
Defeating death forever
Immortal you'll become
We will never die!
[Verse 2: Francesco Paoli]
Demiurges on Earth, Gods of flesh
We create from nothing
We fight the void with bare hands in our sleepless nights
Outcast since birth, mocked by everyone
Bleeding inside
At our expenses we tempered an iron will
Never bowing down, never kneeling before conformity
With no respite in this war against mediocrity
Art crusaders
True believers of this only religion
We come together at the cry
"We can never die!"
[Chorus: Veronica Bordacchini, Francesco Paoli]
Catching the light with every stroke
Bringing to life the soul trapped in stone
Carving your name into eternity
Beyond the end of time!
Enclosing the existence in timeless words
Piercing the silence with these sharpened notes
Defeating death forever
Immortal you'll become
We will never die!
[Bridge: Francesco Paoli]
We will never be forgotten
As art survives and keeps our flame alive
While mortal coils lie six feet under
So when my time will come
Don't grieve for me but raise your glasses
And in my honour, play this music loud
For all the centuries to come!
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus: Veronica Bordacchini]
Catching the light with every stroke
Bringing to life the soul trapped in stone
Carving your name into eternity
[Chorus: Veronica Bordacchini, Francesco Paoli]
Catching the light with every stroke
Bringing to life the soul trapped in stone
Carving your name into eternity
Beyond the end of time!
Enclosing the existence in timeless words
Piercing the silence with these sharpened notes
Defeating death forever
Immortal you'll become
We will never die!
Pendulum:
I kill myself without realizing
Nail after nail until the bitter end
Love for the unknown is what brought me up here
Where air is so thin that we can barely breathe
But better not look down
[Pre-Chorus 1: Veronica Bordacchini & Francesco Paoli]
But this time you went too far
(Oh, come on)
On the path of no return
I can't believe it
[Chorus 1: Francesco Paoli]
I’m falling down
Straight to fucking hell
I'm dying, help!
Nobody hears
[Verse 2: Francesco Paoli]
"The dead" is the man who cannot give up
Haunted by the fear of dishonour
Dreams made of lead fill my barrel
Waiting to be shot straight into my brain
My Russian Roulette
[Pre-Chorus 2: Veronica Bordacchini & Francesco Paoli]
Like dead meat hanging by thread
(But it's not my fault)
You get the end you deserve
Sooner or later
[Chorus 2: Francesco Paoli]
I’m falling down
Straight to fucking hell
I'm dying, help!
Nobody hears "the dead"
[Bridge: Veronica Bordacchini & Francesco Paoli]
Lost soul
Swinging between life and death in a world upside down
Fool, walking on the edge!
And now I'm a goddamned pendulum
Come up against this inglorious end
Yes, a fucking pendulum!
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro: Francesco Paoli]
I'm falling down
Straight to fucking hell
I'm dying, help!
The fucking pendulum!
Bloodclock:
Awake, alone, paralyzed
The blood in my mouth tastes like defeat
Wounded, swollen, bleeding
I'm hanging on this wall like a crucifix
Pieces of bones scattered everywhere
I wrap my left arm around my neck
I feel my legs no more
While adrenaline is blasting my bursting heart
[Pre-Chorus: Francesco Paoli]
Drop by drop
All my blood
Turns this granite to red
Tick tock
Like a clock
Till my veins are emptied
And the wind
Plucks a harp
While my soul disappears
But I'm not dead yet!
[Chorus: Francesco Paoli]
I can see my life flashing before my eyes
I can hear my wife yelling my name in vain
While my son holds a shovel and is digging my grave
But I'm not dead yet
All I know is that I don't want to leave this earth today
On this rope I must fight tooth and nail
Hear these words that like a mantra I repeat to myself
I'm not dead yet!
[Pre-Chorus: Francesco Paoli]
Not yet, the countdown has started for the bloodclock
Broken is the hourglass, exsanguinating till the last drop!
[Chorus: Francesco Paoli]
I can see my life flashing before my eyes
I can hear my wife yelling my name in vain
While my son holds a shovel and is digging my grave
But I'm not dead yet
All I know is that I don't want to leave this earth today
On this rope I must fight tooth and nail
Hear these words that like a mantra I repeat to myself
I'm not dead yet!
[Bridge: Veronica Bordacchini]
I can be cruel sometimes
Let you touch the sky or make you fall!
Watch you, strive for peace of mind
Hunting high and low till you're gone!
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge: Veronica Bordacchini]
Future is so unpredictable
Just hold on to your hopes
[Outro: Francesco Paoli]
I'm not dead yet!
Mark my words 'cause
I'm not dead yet!
And I'm not dying today!
I'm not dead yet!
Fuck!
At war with my Soul:
I've spent my whole life trying
To get rid of you
'Cause I can't keep carrying this burden
That's slowly dragging me to hell, damn!
With you
Sail, over the high seas of regret
(No, I don't have any regret)
Climb up the mountain of fame
(And I'm not seeking fame)
Pain is the price for respect
(I just don't care for your respect)
Or else the oblivion!
(As one on the earth)
Kneel down
(Doomed forever)
Before
(Confined to the flesh)
Your queen
(Live to suffer)
Your Soul
(Hand in hand to hell)
My will
(Burn together)
Be done
(Victims of ourselves)
Till death
(Bastard brothers)
As one
At war with my soul!
At war with my soul!
Born with my worst enemy inside
There is no truce with you
Burnt alive by the worst anima inside
That wears out the body but the cancer is you
Sail, over the high seas of regret
(No, I don't have any regret)
Climb up the mountain of fame
(And I'm not seeking fame)
Pain is the price for respect
(I just don't care for your respect)
Or else the oblivion!
(As one on the earth)
Kneel down
(Doomed forever)
Before
(Confined to the flesh)
Your queen
(Live to suffer)
Your Soul
(Stay away from me)
Forsake
(Set me free now!)
All hopes
(Before it's too late)
Your life
(Before the end)
Is mine
(I will kill you, soul!)
(Hand in hand to hell)
My will
(Burn together)
Be done
(Victims of ourselves)
Till death
(Bastard brothers)
As one
At war with my soul!
[No lyrics place has this yet]
Ah! I'll kill you before you'll kill me!
I'll find my way out, out of this fucking hell!
Morphine Waltz:
Call my name tonight
You know I will come
Let me in and I'll take your mind to the grand ball!
In your darkest hour
I'm the only one
That can make you forget the past and dance till dawn
Till death!
[Chorus: Francesco Paoli]
Come, my lady! Come to me!
Here I am open-armed in my misery
Take me where the pain is just a bad memory
And I lose the last shred of my dignity
Oh! Come, my lady, dance within!
Make me spin on this vorticose melody
Inebriated by this wonder of science I sing!
Morphinе! Morphine!
[Verse 2: Veronica Bordacchini]
Put your pride aside
Lеt me take your hand
Like the king and queen on the dance floor of the damned
I'll anaesthetize
Every single nerve
Like a new man forsake this life
And dance till dawn the dance of death!
[Chorus: Francesco Paoli]
Come, my lady! Come to me!
Here I am open-armed in my misery
Take me where the pain is just a bad memory
And I lose the last shred of my dignity
Oh! Come, my lady, dance within!
Make me spin on this vorticose melody
Inebriated by this wonder of science I sing!
Morphine! Morphine!
[Bridge: Francesco Paoli]
There is no torment here
Nor the slightest sign of suffering
Dancing my morphine waltz
And 'round and 'round we twirl
Like the broken bones inside my flesh
This is the antechamber of death
This is my morphine waltz!
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus: Francesco Paoli]
Come, my lady! Come to me!
Here I am open-armed in my misery
Take me where the pain is just a bad memory
And I lose the last shred of my dignity
Oh! Come, my lady, dance within!
Make me spin on this vorticose melody
Inebriated by this wonder of science I sing!
Morphine! Morphine!

Well, there's no Paolo Rossi vocals anymore, they couldn't write new songs with her just standing on the stage imo. She's doing a great job!

Abso-fucking-lutely!
The music in that song is so amazing. it became my #1 off this album.
My eyes filled with tears when I heard the song for the 1st time, which is an extremely rare reaction for me.
@22:37 Veronica's Whoo is making me smile everytime I hear it :)
@@Legion_Victrix I can almost imagine how much she enjoyed personifying morphine in this track ^O^
True !!
My CD arrived and I’m overwhelmed with it. Great sound, a masterpiece. Thank you.
Till Death Do Us Apart + Opera could make you cry, but mainly through hope, where you know that nothing is in vain.
FGA is the best maturing Italian wine!
And this is why FGA is my favorite Orchestral Death Metal band of all time!’ We’re not worthy! 🔥❤️🤘🏻
Just tore my house up to Morphine Waltz, thanks guys!

These guys are Italian death metal monsters. Unparalleled!
Just seen these guys yesterday in Reading with Shadow of Intent, Ingested and Diembodied Tyrant! What a great show. 🤘🏻
Oh cool as hell 🤘
@@zao_664 It was cool for me, but I felt awful for all these bands. They were playing for like 17 people 🤨.
I haven't heard such a good album opener since King. Holy fuck.
You're goddamned right
This really is a fantastic album!!! Brutal and beautiful!! Thanks !!!
This album is perfection. It's the first Fleshgod album that I feel may be too short! Thank you all for using your musical gifts in the service of heavy music. See you in majestic Riverside, CA. 🤘
Шикарно! Каждый Ваш альбом - лучший, и этот не исключение. Чистое наслаждение.
Маэстро Феррини, нижайший Вам поклон!
I expected this album to be good, but boy, did it blow the expectation out of here!
Easily my favorite album of the year. So amazing
The best italian band .. orchestra,chorus,death,..come se dice da noialtri ...mica se frigge con l acqua
Album of the year, no doubt about it!
Absolute masterpiece. Mozart, Bach, and all of their friends would envy this on listening to this. Delightful. Who are the Rolling Stones??
My favorite album of 2024 so far, absolutely loving it.
Fully integrating Veronica so she can shine and take the weight off clean vocals for the guys... smart move. She killed it and so did everyone else, what a fuckin sick drop
I listened to it many times. It's ripe. Great album! Per Aspera Ad Astra is a big favorite.
Cheers 🤘
My favorit album 2024
and i already listened to it 4 times today. this is true art
Amazing album, love from planet Urth
This album is the 1st Death Metal record that actually induced tears from my eyes. Matricide broke me man!!

Blessings and happiness to you all, keep up the PERFECTIONISM!! Incredible work maestros, absolutely amazing always!🤘❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🤘
Only it's not death metal at all.
Veronica's voice in "Bloodclock" reminds me Fabio Leone somehow
great album guys, a total banger from beginning to end, great production, a real pleasure to listen it completely
Beautiful 😭😭😭
Over the course of many years lots of bands music might drift apart a bit. These guys aren't just tight they're human machines. Holy fucking shit this is incredible.
Grazie per avermi emozionato al punto da aver rotto gli argini di lacrime vecchie di mesi. Orgoglioso di avervi ammirato a Bologna 🤘🖤
This album is 🔥 start to finish 🤘💙
Album 10/10

Everything on here is top notch.
Veronica's vocals are the best they ever been and I feel she's and actual part of the band not just backing vocals..
The writing... Man
What a fuckin killer album.
Hello, I must say that it is absolutely brilliant and fantastic 🔥💯💥👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘😎
Haven't had an album take hold of me this quickly in awhile... in a back catalog full of masterpieces, this one is at the top of the heap!!
Top album opera of all times
They've done it again. Every single song a banger!
Bought the CD! Great Album, Love the Album, Love all the songs, AGAIN! from Japan.
been a fan since agony album and fuck me this band NEVER DISSAPOINTS
Звучит действительно свежо! Новые эмоции 🔥👍🐻☔
ruzzian cannot enjoy EU product , MUSIC SANCTION !
This is incredible. Symphodeath masterpiece. This is how it should be done, hands down.
Morphine Walz is a single masterpiece among the gems. Thank you masters of the Opera!
This is so Addictive !!
There is no Best ,only Different ....
Greetings from Greece .
I love Veronica's voice and stage performance .
Absolutely beautiful! 🙌🏻👏🏻🥹❤️
Whatever comes our way, I'm with Fleshgod.
Opera is an absolute masterpiece.
Q: do you mean Opera as album or just a song?
A: yes
Im on my metal grind again and it feels so good
thanks for releasing these albums for free.
it really means a lot, I would've supported if i could .
Matricide 8.21 is song of the year holy moly
Its like Heart with blastbeats and just insane carnage flowing with epicness grandiose. This is Metal iexpanding into another diversed dimension.
I absolutely love I can never die, but now I want a version where Veronicas cleans are also done by Paolo Rossi..Going to miss his vocals dearly
Per Aspera Ad Astra is such a good mix of modern and classic Fleshgod. It's my favorite one.
Best song on the album (imho) and given the album's otherworldly quality it's saying much.
Ode to Art 🥹🥹🥹
Fabulous album 🤘🖤🤘
Discovered you today. Unreal.
You have a lot of catching up to do. Everything they've put out is awesome.
FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE dropped the ultimate metal album
❤ the best album guys i love it im first fan Peruvian From Arequipa
17:47 microwave my soul 🔥🔥
Amazing album❤❤❤❤
Álbum of the year!!!
And time II of wintersun
I wasn't really convinced by the singles but man the rest of the album was really great. Morphine waltz is my favourite by far, mainly because of the guitars. Especially the melody in the chorus just hits so hard for me.
Truly amazing album!!!! Really looking forward to see the band live in Toronto in 3 weeks!
I have quit listening to them since after Labyrinth... the albuns did'nt caught my attention. But this one has me again! The guitar and piano duets are refreshing, also the vocals. Bloodclock is beautiful and Morphine Waltz is pure insanity
Great performance at Milagre Metaleiro - Portugal. Thank you.
The Melody in matricide 8.21 reminds me to Towards the sun of Labyrinth
I am mesmerized by this album - as I have been with all of them😍 Your reference to Dario Argento made me revisit many of his legendary psychedelic horror films. Maybe you could name your next album "Profondo Rosso" Hope to see you soon in Denmark
veronica has such an amazing voice its great that this album gives it alot more attention. really adds alot more depth to it
probably my favorite fleshgod album since labyrinth
Dovete portare questo capolavoro alla Scala, vi prego
Loved you since the Labyrinth album came to my attention and listening through the Opera album left me with a silly smile on my face that won't come off for weeks..... as mentioned below happy releaseday and all the best to all of you both in band and chat.
Congrats guys, great album 🤘🖤
Faster, Heavier, Stronger, Better Haggard
It´s been a long time since I´ve been playing an album on repeat like I am doing with this one
Album of the year ✅🔥
Yes my freand❤❤❤❤
Finally a great album to listen to, 2024 has been a metal disaster. I love the songs: I Can Never Die, Matricide 8.21, At War With My Soul, Til Death do us apart.
Disaster? Bro, try Vitriol - Suffer and Become or Dvne - Voidkind and then write again that this year has been a disaster...
This thing kicks ass on so many levels I don't know where to start. The drum parts are astounding dude. For starters
Morphine Waltz is fuckin killer
This is a good day. Can't believe it has been 5 years. Always amazing!
EPIC ALBUM !!! I usually have to listen to new albums 2 or 3 times before I start to appreciate every small details but this one is an instant crush !!! Thanks for your hard work and Devotion guys !!! I'll see you in Montreal on Sept 20th !!!
First it was "Vermillion" by Simone Simons, and now this!? What an amazing day! You all outdid yourselves with this one! I can feel the pain in words, as well as the message to push forward. How touching and inspiring, you guys. Plus, the strength and depth of the music compliment each other perfectly. Thanks for sharing your stories and art! ❤🙏🏼
your best album, guys. Congrats
Speechless... What an album.
Masterpiece !!
This is a good solid album. Worth the wait.
